Here it is in Texas getting cleaned up and getting the lights put in for inspection(which it failed). I also put my Bride in, wheels with good tires and raised it about 3 inches(for shipping).

Here she is in the garage for the first time in it new home in Idaho.

All alone....

Oh wait there's a friend

So, after having her a few days I had some free time to de-fagaize the car. I removed all the retarded stickers and tint. Also put all the MB's on.

Well I got tired of the the whole push button start S@#$ that the old owner put in to bypass the anti-theft system so I rewired it and cleaned up the relay box and battery.

While I was at the rewire I took out the POS radio that didn't work and fixed the HVAC controls so they weren't falling in the dash anymore.

And since I had the dash torn apart I hid the hydro E-brake for now until I can get the rear brakes fixed to be able to think about using it.

While waiting on my stuff to get here I got bored and lowered the car. I maxed out the front coils and lowered the rear to match. Well the only problem I ran into was I got high centered trying to get out of the driveway. Well here are some pics of it.

I also picked up a few things the other day for the car. I have some wiring issues and I have a seized caliper. So i got some brake parts and a few tune up parts that are well needed. Here are some more pics.

So, I've had a few issues with the car. One is I did a coolant flush to get it ready for the cold since the car is from Texas and since I did it the car gets way too hot. It doesn't over heat it just get almost there. Two is the battery decided it didn't like being whole so it blew a hole in the bottom of it.

Since I can't drive the car I went to put my LSD in and while doing it one of welded in nuts on the front of the sub frame snapped off so the bolt would just spin. So I pulled out the sawsall and cut the bolt head off and got the diff out. So my plan is to cut a hole in the sub frame weld a new nut in there and then re-weld up the hole but that plan came to a stop when I realize I didn't have any cutoff wheels so that didn't get done today.

Well since I cant drive at all and it might be awhile before I can I stripped the front off(lights, fenders, hood, bumper). Once I was done with the stripping I decided to do some test fitting of some more D-Max stuff.

The wheels are 17x9 +30 with 225/45's and a 15mm spacer. So there's a little gap. Also there is only one bolt holding the fender on too.

I got the LSD in and rest of the body work done(but still need a hood)

In the air

On the ground

So I havent worked on the car all week till last night. I did get the lights all wired up and got some paint on the car too. I know its not much of an update.

Ok, I like I said here are some pics. This will be the last update for the next few weeks. I was scheduled to have surgery next month but they called me this afternoon and told me they could get me in tomorrow(12 Oct 12) so I said sure. So I'll be laid up for a bit.

Some outside pics

Here is the trunk stripped nothing exciting.

While I was in the trunk I decided to go ahead and fix the "body work" the dumbass that had the car before me did(tape and bondo).

Welded

Bondo

Done(mostly)

Here are some pics of the hydro e-brake

Here is what I'm using as a handle

When I took her for a spin the other day I couldn't get into the driveway with my front bumper on so she was lifted 1/2 an inch and took out a little camber.

Oh shit whats this? Stripped car? Dust? Could it be........ Why yes it is. I sanded the car down this evening to get it ready for some primer.

The rest of my stuff to get the rear overs on should be here in a few days. I'm still on doctors restrictions so I cant finish the E-brake right now. I should be able to get back to it soon. Well that's it for now.

Look whats going down tomorrow!!!!!

Sorry for the crappy hazy pics but here you go

I think I might wet sand it tomorrow then hit it with another coat of clear.

Here you go! She is "almost" ready for the road.

I have the mirror left to paint. The rear overs should be ready to go on next weekend.

Here is Hydro E-Brake V1.0
The drivers view

I need to do some finish grinding and paint it.

Here is where I'm at as of right now. The SR should be going in sometime around the first of the year.

Not much of an update but I put my JDM rear seats in and removed quite a bit of airbag sh*t.

Airbag sh*t gone

So, the SR came out of its cocoon the other day.

And on the stand ready to be put back together.

So the reason the engine is going back together is because the wife got mad I spent all that time packing it and t getting it ready to bring back then turn around and sell it. So, its gonna go into the car shortly after I get a few things from a friend in Japan it will go in. I'm "HOPING" to get it in by New Years but we'll see.

Well I got out in the garage tonight and got the valve cover, sump, oil pan and pick up put on. As I was going through my stuff I found out my intake mani and exhaust mani gaskets didn't make it. So I'll have to order those. Well anyway I do have pics.

So I got one of these today with the help from the guys at BK Industries in Boise

So, I finally finished the chassis harness. And I am so glad its over. All that I have left is to finish repining the engine harness and rewrap it and its on, put in the FMIC, Fluids, and figure out where the fuck to mount my battery in the trunk.
